Spiritual stagnation staggers senses Insidious insanity of intermittent information Gruesome gorging of gossips Nauseating nature of narcissistic news Oppression of other opinions Flouting false faithfulness freely Transparent traitors of truth Hypocritical hype of haters Evildoers exemplifying egregiousness Transgressive territorial targets Investigation into innocent itineraries Mercilessly manipulating mainstream Evidence effectively to expressively Symbolize significant sign of the times April 25, 2018 Sign of the Times Contest By John Hamilton Third Place

Clever alliterative, acrostic, Susan. Contrary to other comments, I see it as a response to the current news media, rather than its favourite target.

I like the combination of acrostic and alliterations. Very powerful and painting a picture of the very sign of the times. Kai

I agree with Richard on that one. Sounds like a leader I know. Best wishes for the contest. Love the alliteration.

I haven't had a chance to even read the contest page, but I needn't do so to know that you nailed this! I agree with each line and the alliteration serves to drive each of your 'sad' points home. I'm tempted to go 70s and say this is 'right-on.' If we could change the world ... Poetry hugs ... CayCay
